Mary s Bridal Quinceanera Dresses Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat, RE (Mary Elizabeth; née Donaldson; born 5 February 1972 in Hobart, Australia) is the wife of Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark. Frederik is the heir apparent to the throne of Denmark, which means that at the time Frederik inherits the throne, Mary will automatically assume the feminine form of his title and rank, becoming Queen consort of Denmark.
The couple met at the Slip Inn, a pub in Sydney, when the prince was visiting Australia during the 2000 Summer Olympics. Their official engagement in 2003 and their marriage the following year were the subject of extensive attention from Australian and European news media, which portrayed the marriage as a modern "fairytale" romance between a prince and a commoner.[1]

[edit]Early life

Mary Elizabeth Donaldson was born the youngest of the four children of mathematician and Professor John Dalgleish Donaldson (born 5 September 1941) and his first wife, Henrietta "Etta" Clark Donaldson, née Horne, (12 May 1942 – 20 November 1997), who had emigrated from Scotland to Australia in 1963.[2] She was named after her paternal and maternal grandmothers, Mary Dalgeish and Elizabeth Gibson Melrose.
Mary has three older siblings:
Jane Alison Stephens (a pharmacist) (b. 26 December 1965);
Patricia Anne Bailey (an intensive care nurse) (b. 16 March 1968);
John Stuart Donaldson (a geologist, b. 9 July 1970).
Henrietta Donaldson, Mary's mother, was executive assistant to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Tasmania. In 2001, four years after her death, Mary's father, Professor John Donaldson remarried. His second wife is English author and novelist Susan Elizabeth Donaldson, née Horwood, known by pseudonym Susan Moody.[3]
Mary was born and raised in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
As a girl, Mary was heavily involved in sports and other extracurricular activities both at school and elsewhere. She studied piano, flute, clarinet and played basketball and hockey. Her early love of horses led her to ride competitively as a teenager, on her horse, Diana.
[edit]Education

Mary began primary school in Clear Lake City, now Houston, Harris County, Texas, while her father was working there. On returning to Hobart she attended Sandy Bay Infants School, Waimea Heights Primary School and then Taroona High School in Tasmania. She attended Waimea Heights Primary School from 1978 to 1982.
She completed her secondary education at Taroona High School and Hobart Matriculation College. For the last two years of her secondary education Mary attended Hobart College from which she graduated.
She studied at the University of Tasmania for five years.[4] From 1989 to 1994 Mary completed a combined degree in Commerce and Law (BCom, LLB) at the University of Tasmania, and graduated on 27 May 1995. Between 1994 and 1996, Mary attended a graduate program and qualified with certificates in advertising from The Advertising Federation of Australia (AFA) and direct marketing from the Australian Direct Marketing Association (ADMA).[4]
[edit]Languages
The Crown Princess's mother tongue is English and Danish is her second language. She studied French during her secondary education. In 2002, she briefly taught English in Paris.[4] Upon meeting Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark she studied Danish as a foreign language at Studieskolen in 2003.[5]
[edit]Career

While studying in Tasmania, Mary reportedly had a joint business interest in a company called Kingcash, with Brent Annells, with whom she had a seven-year relationship in the 1990s.[6][7]
Biographies detail that she worked for Australian and global advertising agencies after graduating in 1995.[4][8][9] Upon graduation Mary moved to Melbourne to work in advertising. She became a trainee in marketing and communications with the Melbourne office of DDB Needham, taking a position of account executive. In 1996, Mary was employed by Mojo Partners as an account manager. In 1998, six months after her mother's death, she resigned and travelled to America and Europe. In Edinburgh, she worked for three months as an account manager with Rapp Collins Worldwide; then, in early 1999, she was appointed as an account director with the international advertising agency Young & Rubicam in Sydney.[4]
In June 2000, Mary moved to a smaller Australian agency, Love Branding, working for a short time as the company's first account director. However, in the (Australian) spring of 2000 until December 2001, she became sales director and a member of the management team of Belle Property, a real estate firm specialising in luxury property. In the first half of 2002 Mary taught English at a business school in Paris but, on moving to Denmark permanently, she was employed by Microsoft Business Solutions (5 September 2002 – 24 September 2003) near Copenhagen as a project consultant for business development, communications and marketing.[4]
[edit]Courtship and engagement

Mary Donaldson met Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark at the Slip Inn[10] during the 2000 Summer Olympics on 16 September in Sydney. Frederik was very romantic, and he did not want her to know that he was a prince instantly, so he introduced himself as "Fred". He surprised her when he identified himself as the Crown Prince of Denmark at the height of their courtship.[11] They conducted a long-distance relationship by phone, email and letter and Frederik made a number of discreet visits to Australia. On 15 November 2001 the Danish weekly magazine Billed Bladet named Mary as Frederik's girlfriend. Mary moved to Europe in December 2001 and, while she was working as an English tutor in Paris, she visited Denmark privately and was photographed attending weddings and christenings of friends with Frederik. Mary and Frederik were photographed during 2003 at various private outings in Denmark. On 24 September 2003 the Danish court announced that Queen Margrethe II intended to give her consent to the marriage at the State Council meeting scheduled for 8 October 2003.
Frederik presented Mary with an engagement ring featuring an emerald-cut diamond and two emerald-cut ruby baguettes.[12] They became officially engaged on 8 October 2003.
[edit]Marriage

TRH The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark.
Further information: Wedding of Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, and Mary Donaldson
Mary Donaldson and Crown Prince Frederik married on 14 May 2004 in Copenhagen Cathedral, in Copenhagen.[13] Mary wore a wedding gown designed by Danish designer Uffe Frank and had a small bridal party which included her two sisters and her friend Amber Petty, a radio announcer on commercial radio in Australia. Frederik was supported by his brother Prince Joachim. Three of Mary's nieces, Erin and Kate Stephens and Madisson Woods, were flower girls; Frederik's nephew Prince Nikolai of Denmark and first cousin once removed, Count Richard von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth were pageboys. The wedding [14] was celebrated in Copenhagen and at Fredensborg Palace. The couple reportedly spent their honeymoon in Africa.
The Danish Folketing (parliament) passed a special law (Mary's Law) giving Mary Donaldson Danish citizenship upon her marriage, a standard procedure for new foreign members of the royal family. Mary was previously a dual-citizen of Australia and the United Kingdom. Formerly a Presbyterian, Mary became Lutheran. Shortly before entering the royal family, Mary signed a marriage agreement similar to those of her father-in-law and her former sister-in-law. The agreement was subsequently updated in late 2006. The details of these have never been made public, but it can be assumed that they deal with financial matters, royal status and custodial rights to the children in the event of a divorce.
The Crown Princess and her family currently reside at Frederik VIII's Palace, one of the four palaces that make up the Amalienborg Palace complex. From May 2004 to mid-December 2010, they resided at The Chancellery House, a side building at Fredensborg Palace.
[edit]Children
On 15 October 2005, Mary gave birth to Prince Christian Valdemar Henri John at Copenhagen University Hospital. Frederik was present at the birth. The infant was healthy, weighing 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) and measuring 51 cm (20 ins).[15] His name was announced at the christening on 21 January 2006 at Christiansborg Palace Chapel in Copenhagen. He is second in the line of succession to the throne, after his father.
On 21 April 2007, Princess Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe was born, at 3.350 kg and 50 cm long.[16] She was christened at Fredensborg Palace chapel on 1 July 2007[17] and is third in line to the throne.
On 6 August 2010, it was announced that the Crown Princess was pregnant with twins. The Crown Princess reportedly said that the pregnancy was a surprise,[18] but another report claimed Mary wanted more children; and that the pair have denied suggestions the pregnancy resulted from fertility treatment.[19] In late 2010, the family appeared in the German edition of Vogue in a series of official portraits showing the couple and their children, including pictures of Mary in profile with the pregnancy being obvious. The Crown Princess was admitted to hospital on January 8, 2011, in preparations for the birth of the twins.[20] The Crown Princess gave birth to a baby boy—whom her husband Frederik joked about calling Elvis, as the "King of Rock and Roll" had the same birthday[21]—at 10:30 am local time (weight 2.674 kg., length: 47 cm), and a baby girl at 10:56 am (weight: 2.554 kg., length: 46 cm.), on January 8.[22][23] Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary left the hospital with their newborn twins on 14 January 2011. The names were made public at their royal christening on Thursday, 14 April 2011, which took place at the Church of Holmen in Copenhagen.[24] The twins are called Prince Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander and Princess Josephine Sophia Ivalo Mathilda.[25]
[edit]Royal life

She is pictured here surrounded by Princess Máxima of the Netherlands; the Prince of Orange, heir-apparent of the Netherlands; the Crown Princess of Norway; and the Queen of the Netherlands. Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark stands at the far left.
Following the wedding, the couple embarked upon a summer cruise of mainland Denmark aboard the royal yacht Dannebrog, and then to Greenland and later the 2004 Athens Olympics. In 2005, during the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen, the royal family was involved in related events throughout the year. Frederik and Mary marked it in London, New York and in Australia, where Mary was made Honorary HCA Ambassador to Australia in the Utzon Room of the Sydney Opera House. In 2005 the royal family visited Faroe Islands.
Since becoming Crown Princess of Denmark, Mary has made a number of international visits [26] and Frederik and Mary participated in the reburial ceremonies for Empress Maria Feodorovna in Denmark and Saint Petersburg. In November 2009, Mary made a surprise visit to Danish soldiers in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. One of the Crown Princess's stops was FOB Armadillo.[27]
In the context of immigrant issues in Denmark, Mary has visited the disadvantaged migrant areas of Vollsmose (2006),[28] Gellerup (2007),[29] and Vilborg (2010),[30] and has participated in integration projects and to teach the Danish language to refugees.[31][32][33] As patron of the Danish Refugee Council Mary visited Uganda (2008)[34] and East Africa (2011)[35] and supports fundraising for the region. [36][37]
Mary is helped by her ladies in waiting. Her first lady in waiting was English-speaking Countess Victoria Bernstorff-Gyldensteen. She then assigned her friend Caroline Heering as her lady in waiting. Tanya Doky then became lady in waiting, while Caroline Heering was assigned the role of Mary's personal assistant.
Mary has played an active role in promoting an anti-bullying program based on an Australian model through the auspices of Denmark's Save the Children.[38]
Mary is also involved in a new campaign to raise awareness and safe practices among Danes about skin cancer through The Danish Cancer Society.
In September 2007 Mary formally established the Mary Foundation, with capital from public and private donations, to advance cultural diversity and encourage a sense of the right to belong and contribute to society for those who are socially isolated or excluded.
Mary was voted Woman of the Year 2008 by a Danish magazine, Alt for damerne. The Princess donated her cash reward to charity.[39]
She was interviewed by Parade Magazine (USA)[40] and television programs of Andrew Denton (Australia)[41] and USA Today (USA).[32]
As a native English-speaker, Mary's main priority from the time of her engagement was to master the Danish language. Mary has acknowledged that this was a challenge for her in several interviews at the time of her engagement and marriage.[41][42]
If Frederik ascends the throne, Mary will be the first Australian to be a queen consort in Europe.[43]
[edit]Godchildren
Mary is a godmother to:
His Highness Prince Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian, born on 22 July 2002
Her Royal Highness Princess Estelle, Duchess of Östergötland (Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary of Sweden), born 23 February 2012
[edit]Fashion
Mary is also an active patron of Denmark's third-highest-earning export industry, the fashion industry.
The princess, who has been compared to Diana, Princess of Wales,[44] and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,[45][46][47] is often pictured wearing Danish and international fashion garments.
She has been named one of the world's most fashionable people in Vanity Fair's annual International Best-Dressed List [48] and has posed and given interviews for magazines including Vogue Australia (where she used pieces of foreign designers, such as Hugo Boss, Prada, Louis Vuitton or Gaultier, and Danish designers, as Malene Birger and Georg Jensen), Dansk (Danish Magazine, dedicated to Danish fashion), German Vogue (where was photographed between pieces of Danish modern art in Amalienborg Palace).[49][50][51] Mary also posed for other magazines during her life as a royal, such as Women's Weekly Australia magazine (to which she spoke in several occasions about her life as a royal and her family) and Parade Magazine.
Her elegance was praised by designer Tommy Hilfiger.[52]
[edit]Patronages
Since 2004 Crown Princess Mary has steadily worked to establish her relationships with various organisations, their issues, missions, programmes and staff. Mary's patronages range across areas of culture, the fashion industry, humanitarian aid, support for research and science, social and health patronages and sport (golf and swimming). The organisations for which she is patron have reported positive outcomes through their relationship with Mary and there are various reports in the Danish media and on some of the websites of the organisations themselves about Mary being quite involved in her working relationship with them. Mary is currently involved in supporting anti-obesity programs through the World Health Organization, Regional Office for Europe.[53]
Mary's current patronages include cultural organisations,[54][55] the Danish fashion industry [56] humanitarian aid,[57] research and science,[58] social, health and humanitarian organisations[59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67] and sporting organisations.[68][69]
Crown Princess Mary is also an Honorary Life Governor of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute based at the Garvan Institute/St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, a member of the International Committee of Women Leaders for Mental Health and a member of various sporting clubs (riding, golf and yachting). In June 2010, it was announced that Crown Princess Mary has become Patron of UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, "to support the agency’s work to promote maternal health and safer motherhood in more than 150 developing nations".[70] Mary lends her support to a number of other 'one-off' Danish causes, industry events and international conferences. In 2011, the Westmead Cancer Centre at Westmead Hospital in Sydney was renamed the Crown Princess Mary Cancer Care Centre Westmead.[71]
[edit]Mary Foundation
On 11 September 2007 Crown Princess Mary announced the establishment of the Mary Foundation[72] at the inaugural meeting at Amalienborg Palace. The initial funds of DKK 1.1 million were collected in Denmark and Greenland and donated to Frederik and Mary as a wedding gift in 2004. Crown Princess Mary is the chairwoman of eight trustees. The Mary Foundation aims to improve lives compromised by environment, heredity, illness or other circumstances which can isolate or exclude people socially.

In accordance with the statutes of the Danish Royal Orders, both the Crown Princess and her father were granted a personal coat of arms, this for display in the Chapel of the Royal Orders at Frederiksborg Castle. The main field of the Crown Princess' coat of arms is or tinctured and shows a gules MacDonald eagle and a Sable tinctured boat both symbolising her Scottish ancestry. The chief field is azure tinctured and shows two gold Commonwealth Stars from the Coat of arms of Australia, and a gold rose in between, depicted as her personal symbol. Above the shield is placed the heraldic crown of a Crown Prince of Denmark.[78]
The coat of arms of her father is almost identical to that of the Crown Princess, but a gold infinity symbol is depicted (symbolising his career as an Australian mathematician), instead of the gold Rose. Above his shield is instead placed a barred helmet topped with a gules rampant lion, which is turned outward. The lion is derived from the Scottish coat of arms and also from the arms of Tasmania and Hobart. Both coats of arms were approved in 2006 and placed in the Chapel of the Royal Orders in 2007.[78]
The Crown Princess' coat of arms and its details have yet to be published on the Crown Prinncely couple's

Mother Of The Bride Dresses Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
Mother of the bride dresses are no longer the frumpy, shoulder-padded styles of the past decades. Here we have 2013 latest collection of bride’s mother dresses for you moms! Your mom is free to pick from a plethora of gowns that will suit her body type and her style so you’re sure to find her something with wear-again value combined with wedding sophistication.
Color can make a big difference for a mom. For a summer or spring wedding, go for a lighter hue, and use deeper tones for the fall and winter. Your bridesmaid dresses may shock and awe with their vibrant lemon drop yellows and electric aquas, but pick a softer, more sophisticated color for mom. Choose the more subdued of your colors for your mother’s dress, or focus on a more neutral version of your pop-out hues.
Modest does not need to mean matronly, either. Another way moms can spice up their attire is through accessories. A soft scarf, thick bracelet, or a delicate necklace can really make her wardrobe feel unique and lovely. If she does opt for a short dress, stand-out shoes will complement the more informal length. If she happens to love a strapless gown, go for shawls or sweaters to finish her attire.
The Mother of the Bride outfit and the Mother of the Groom outfit have equal prominence at a wedding these days. Tradition always dictated that the bride’s father picked up the tab for his daughter’s wedding, and this made the bride’s mother a host with a range of duties on the day. The Mother of the Bride’s role has changed over recent years as weddings have evolved into more lavish and very expensive functions.
The mothers of the bride and groom will normally have a lot of contact in the months of planning prior to the wedding. Both sets of parents are closely involved in planning and arranging the whole day. This is a great opportunity to build up a friendship between the Mother of the Bride and the Mother of the Groom so whilst working together to make the wedding arrangements, you have the opportunity to discuss the wedding outfits.
Each mother will ultimately choose their own outfit, but friendly consultation between the Mother of the Bride, the Mother of the Groom as well as the bride will avoid extremities in styles. It should avoid choosing colours that may clash or, even worse, discovering that you have chosen exactly the same colour or outfits when you arrive at the wedding.

The traditional white wedding wasn't defined only by the color of the dress.

After World War I, as full-scale formal weddings began to be desired by the mothers of brides who did not have a permanent social secretary, the position of the "wedding planner" who could coordinate the printer, florist, caterer, seamstress, began to assume importance. Bride's Magazine began to be published in 1934 as a newspaper advertising insert called So You're Going to Get Married! in a column titled To the Bride, and its rival Modern Bride began publishing in 1949. Now a whole industry surrounds the provision of such weddings. The groom may be a mere detail: the new editor of Modern Bride began her inaugural column, without irony: "I really did have the wedding of my dreams, the wedding that had been floating around my head for years before I met my husband."

The full white wedding experience today typically requires the family to arrange for or purchase printed or engraved wedding invitations, musicians, decorations such as flowers or candles, clothes and flowers for bridesmaids, groomsmen, a flower girl, and a ring bearer. They may also add optional features, such as a guest book or commemorative wedding leaflets. Additionally, they are very likely to have a celebration after the wedding ceremony, normally featuring a large white wedding cake.

A subtle shift in the requirements for a wedding can be detected in the modern blurb for Emily Post's Weddings "creating a wedding experience that demonstrates the bride and groom's commitment and uniqueness." "Uniqueness" is a modern addition to a wedding's requirements.

Francesca, former senior designer of the renowned women’s label St. John, has always had an interest in designing bridal fashion. She was awarded the Distinctive Excellence in the Bridal Industry (DEBI) award in the category of best style bridesmaid’s gowns, for the Jim Hjelm Occasions Collection both, in 2004, 2005, and 2008.

“Each dress has its own individual look and special details,” she says. “Every little thing is important, even the placement of embroidery or the way draping falls over a gown’s bodice. I try to offer a wide variety of different looks so I can give to brides and bridesmaids a range of strong choices. The most important thing to me is that women are happy and feel absolutely gorgeous in their gowns.”
